The judges have spoken and it is time to announce the winners of the first Gamle Ode, Du Nord, and Bittercube Winter Cocktail Contest!

Many thanks to Eat Street Social for hosting, plus providing perfect food and service Monday night. Also, warm thanks to our co-sponsors for providing the awards — Eat Street Social, Du Nord, Wedge Co-op, The Third Bird, Barbette, Red Stag, Restaurant Alma, and Gamle Ode. And thanks to all of you who entered this contest, sharing your mixological knowledge and love of great local spirits and bitters.

And now, let me congratulate all our winners. Every one of these cocktail recipes is worthy your consideration — to add to your home bartending repertoire, to share with your friends and family.

Rim two antique champagne glasses with the angel dust that comes out of your food processor after you buzz up a bunch of dried-ass porcini mushrooms. Then pour the three liquid ingredients into a shaker along with one sprig of rosemary and more ice than you think you ought. Shake hard. Pour into the two glasses and finish each with a rosemary sprig garnish.
